The IETF does not vote!

This is not a democracy!

We reach consensus based on technical arguments or we declare lack thereof.

The fact that I could afford a plane ticket to this meeting, had the time
to post on that mailing list or sent a +1 message on an XMPP MUC does not
make me more or less qualified to cast a vote on this topic than anyone
else.

The criteria that is being suggested for picking a voter's base here is so
desperately arbitrary that it makes a coin flip pale in comparison. It also
shows how ill suited the IETF is for such things.

In other words, +1 to what Peter said and let's stick to what we actually
can do.
